Color be how we be seein' th' world, so it should come as no surprise that color can be helpin' us understand complex information, includin' music, savvy? Some musicians even be experiencin' color when hearin' certain notes or chords. OnSong can be renderin' chords in color t' help draw attention t' them. Synesthesia be what we be callin' color-codin' certain fonts based on their interval.

Enablein' Synesthesia

Synesthesia be only available when formattin' chords and can be accessed through a rainbow-colored swatch at th' end o' th' color picker. Choosin' this swatch will be causin' th' chords on th' page t' render in different colors based on their interval relative t' th' root o' th' key.

Changin' Palettes

Tap and hold on th' rainbow swatch t' change th' palette used fer colorin' chords. These be includin':

• Off disables color-coded chords.
• Default uses a basic, rainbow color scheme movin' from red through violet.
• Synesthesia uses colors that individuals experiencin' th' phenomenon o' synesthesia be reportin' when hearin' specific notes.
• Customize... lets ye be choosin' yer own colors used t' render chords usin' th' palette editor.

Choosin' th' Tonic

Individuals experiencin' synesthesia typically be visualizin' certain colors when hearin' specific notes or pitches. Because o' that, th' tonic be fixed by default, meanin' that each color be assigned based on th' root note o' th' chord. In this model, a C chord be always red. Ye can be changin' th' tonic strategy used fer assignin' colors t' chords:

Fixed

This be th' default and maintains a specific color fer th' root note o' th' chord.

Movable

This be changin' th' palette t' assign th' first color t' th' root o' th' key. Fer example, if ye be playin' in th' key o' A, th' "A" chord would typically be appearin' in a bluish color if usin' th' Default palette. If th' tonic be set t' movable, th' "A" would be renderin' in red since it be th' root interval o' th' key.
